Wilderness Plot Summary

What happens in Wilderness from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Callum [Toby Kebbell] arrives at a small juvenile facility run by Jed [Sean Pertwee], where a tight-knit but turbulent group—Steve [Stephen Wight], Blue [Adam Deacon], Jethro [Richie Campbell], Lindsay [Ben McKay], Davie [John Travers], and Lewis [Luke Neal]—exists under a tense mix of bravado and bullying. The crowd’s rough dynamic seems to peak when Davie and Lindsay are taunted, and Davie’s suicide by slashing his wrists becomes a chilling turning point. Davie’s dad learns of the tragedy, and the entire group, along with Jed, is sent away for a team-building exercise on a remote island. From the moment they land, something about the place feels off, as if the island itself is watching them with silent intent.
